Going to be honest with you…

The last few weeks, actually last few months have been all over the bloody place.

New baby. Moved house. Work has been mental.

Sleep has been a bloody nightmare at times.

Nutrition has been sporadic at times and a case of grabbing something quick.

Mornings where I’d planned to get in an early session but still up at 3am.

And look, I’m not saying this looking for bloody sympathy.

I’m saying it because I think there’s an illusion that online, that everyone has got everything dialled in all the time.

They’ve not.

Perfect training weeks with perfect training & recovery.

That’s not real life all the time.

Real life is having weeks where you’ve no time, energy or motivation to do any of this…

Yet, you still get something done.

The goal on weeks where life is a bit mad, isn’t to be absolutely on it.

It’s to do enough to stay in the game.

Show up even when everything’s against you.

And not beat yourself up when the week looks nothing like the plan.

Progress isn’t always linear.

Sometimes it’s just surviving the week and going again 👊🏻

For years, I was running every session way too hard.

Didn’t have any structure in front of me.

I’d head out, run as fast as I could for 5km then compare my time.

Felt like I was being productive and getting fitter.

Turns out I was just hammering myself into the ground and wondering why after a while…

Non of my times were really improving.

Then I started to understand the correct paces, heart rate zones and how to structure my runs.

And my ‘easy’ runs started to actually become easy…though it was very slow.

My ego hated it, I just wanted to see constant improvement.

But after of 8-10 weeks of actual proper structure and actually following it…

I started running faster at the same heart rate.

My easy run pace was noticeably improving.

My recovery between sessions improved.

Some of the intervals I was doing felt so much easier.

Here’s what was actually happening…

By running my easy runs genuinely easy >> I was building my aerobic base properly for the first time.

And because I had something left in the tank >> my hard session were actually hard instead of just medium.

Most runners are like what I was and spend time in the ‘grey’ zone.

Not easy enough to build aerobic base.

Not hard enough to push the threshold.

So you almost end up going nowhere…and if your like me jacking it in for a while.

Slow down on your easy days…

It will make you faster, I promise 👊🏻

𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐒 𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐔𝐏 🔥

There have been a lot of racing done at Team Infinite the last couple weekends.

Backyard Ultras > The Gauntlet > 10kms > Half Marathons.

PB's smashed left, right and centre 👊

Here's the round up 👇

**KINLOSS 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗬𝗔𝗥𝗗 𝗨𝗟𝗧𝗥𝗔** (two weekends ago)

🏃 Dale: 34 miles before injury forced him to stop
🏃 Daz: 54 miles (his longest run was 33 miles before this)
🏃 Heather: 66 miles before stopping with a ni**le (she’s actually the female course record holder, mental)

For anyone who doesn't know how a Backyard Ultra works…you run 4.167 miles, every single hour, on the hour, until your body physically can't do another lap.

There's no finish line, you just keep going until you can’t.

𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗧 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞𝗘𝗡𝗗

✅ Colin Gibson: Sub 40 10km >> NEW PB (a big goal of Colin’s since joining ticked off)
✅ Iain Tomlins: The Gauntlet, 55:53, 7th in his age group
✅ John Cook: The Gauntlet, 1:05:05
✅ Kirsty MacDougall: The Gauntlet Doubles, 54:42, 6th in her age group
✅ Victoria & Gemma: The Gauntlet Doubles, 57:10
✅ Diane Harris: The Gauntlet Doubles, 54:10, 5th in her age group
✅ Leanne Reid: The Gauntlet Doubles, 1:01
✅ Chrissy Greive: Ran 16 miles at a Backyard Style event in the Broch! Longest run
✅ Mark Liddle: Sub 2 hour Half Marathon >> NEW PB

That's not a bad couple weekends of racing & events.

So good to see 🙌

Some of these are lifelong PB's.

Some are people who a year or two ago couldn't have imagined being at the start line of something like The Gauntlet or a bloody Backyard Ultra.

That's the thing about this lot…

They don't just turn up to train…they turn up to find out what they're actually capable of.

And every single time, they prove it's more than they thought.

Massive well done to every single one of you.

Absolute legends, the lot of you 👏

Here’s what a runs & workouts look like at the moment…

3 kids with one of them 12 weeks old.

Sleep & time not the greatest just now so no 20 mile long runs 🤣

But if I’m half well slept…this it what it looks like;

Monday: Run Session 1 - V02 Max Session
Tuesday: Full Body Workout 1
Wednesday: AM > Run Session 2 - Threshold Session / PM > Hyrox Workout
Thursday: Run Session 3 - 60mins Easy Run
Friday: Full Body Workout 2
Saturday: REST
Sunday: REST

Haven’t bother scheduling anything in at the weekends as it can be a nightmare to get in.

But still making progress and that’s all that counts 🙌

Every single person here…started from nothing.

No crazy events done. No body they were proud of.

Just a decision to do something about it.

Victoria started wanting to get leaner and fitter.

This year alone, smashed in a Hyrox, Ultra Marathon, PB Marathon, PB Half Marathon, PB 10km, PB 5km.

Jordan wanted to drop a bit of body fat, get leaner and run a half marathon.

He went onto get in the shape of his life, complete a Hyrox, Marathons & Ultra marathons.

Dave wanted to get a bit leaner and improve his performance with his running.

A year later and he’s literally winning events, winning the Ben Braghie 24 hour ultra race.

Fiona swore she’d never do a Hyrox…

Crossed a Hyrox finish line this year and lost 37lbs during a fat loss phase.

Calum lost over 4 stone and got in the shape of his life.

All whilst running his own busines and working offshore.

Dale started wanting to drop some unwanted body fat and maybe do a 10km.

A year later he lost 2.5 stone & completed a 50km Ultra Marathon.

Terri-May dropped 10kg and got in the shape of her life.

Doing all this as an extremely busy Mum.

None of them arrived ready.

None of them had perfect conditions or unlimited time.

They all had challenges.

They all did one thing…they just started.

That’s the only difference between them and where you are right now.

The priority list for Infinite 8 opens up this weekend…

You’ll get access to the early bird discount.

What should you eat before your run? 👇�
The honest answer, it depends on the run.

How long is it? How hard is it? What time of day?

The fuelling strategy changes depending on all of those.

Here's how to think about it…�
Under 60 minutes at an easy pace?

You don't need much, or anything at all.

If it's first thing in the morning a small snack works fine.

Banana, a slice of toast, small bowl of cereal.

Something light that won't sit in your stomach.

If it's later in the day and you've eaten normally, you're probably good to go as you are.

60-90 minutes >> now it starts to matter more.

2-3 hours before: a proper carb-based meal.

Oats, rice, pasta, bagels, toast, cereal etc.

Something that gives you sustained energy without feeling heavy.

30-60 minutes before: something smaller and quick to digest. Banana, energy bar, a couple of rice cakes, bowl of cereal.

Avoid anything high in fat or fibre close to the run >> that's a recipe for a bad time. 💩
�Anything over 90 minutes >> fuelling before AND during matters.

2-3 hours before: a full meal. Higher carbs, moderate protein, low fat and fibre.

During the run: start taking on carbs at 45-60 minutes. 1 gel every 30-45 minutes after that.

Around 60g of carbs per hour.

Don't wait until you feel tired to fuel…by that point it's too late.
�For my easy runs, usually nothing or a banana if it's first thing.

For long runs and threshold sessions: oats with a banana and honey 2 hours before or bowl of frosties.

Gels during anything over 90 minutes.

I used to go out for 2+ hour runs with nothing on me and wonder why I was bloody destroyed afterwards.

Turned out it was a fuelling problem >> not a fitness problem.
�Match the fuel to the demand.

Easy short run, keep it light or skip it.�
Hard or long session >> fuel properly before and during.

Get this right and your runs will feel completely different.
�This is exactly the kind of thing we cover inside Infinite 8.

Training and nutrition working together >>not guessing one and hoping the other takes care of itself.

Sign ups open this weekend…
